The first place in the Potion Competition was won by Yu Qing Qian, which was beyond everyone’s expectations, including the Headmasters of the five Academies and the two Elders.
They all thought that Leng Ling Shuang would take first place, but unexpectedly, Yu Qing Qian not only improved her plant inscription level to close to expert-level, but even her potion skills were close to expert-level.
Such an achievement had only been achieved by Feng Chen among the younger generation.
Elder Qi of the Imperial Academy looked at Yu Qing Qian, and said with some gentleness on his stern face: “Yu Qing Qian, you are very good in both cultivation talent, plant inscriptions, and potions talent. You have reached the criteria for special admission to our Imperial Academy, I will now admit you under a special exception on behalf of the Imperial Academy.”
Elder Gu of the Holy Academy cursed inwardly—this old fellow was too shameless, he actually proposed to admit Yu Qing Qian under special exceptions first. Obviously, he was the only one who had such a thought before.
Before Yu Qing Qian could answer, Elder Gu said with a smile: “Little girl, when you broke into the forbidden zone in the centre of the island, this old one had thought that you weren’t only talented, but also had good character. Our Holy Academy also gives you a spot for special admission, I hope you can join our Holy Academy.”
“Old Gu, your Holy Academy has already snatched away Feng Chen, and now you’re coming to snatch Yu Qing Qian from us Imperial Academy?” Elder Qi furrowed his brows slightly.
Among the younger generation of geniuses, Chi Mo Ran and Feng Chen were the most outstanding, but for some reason, they both chose the Holy Academy after being admitted under special circumstances. This had been the biggest pain in the Imperial Academy in recent years.
Now Yu Qing Qian revealed talent that was no inferior to those two. In addition, she had no relations to the Seven Great Clans and Three Great Empires behind her, making her more suitable for recruitment and focus for raising than Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran.
Elder Gu snorted coldly: “This old one has said in front of the Headmasters before that I decided to admit Yu Qing Qian in advance as an exception. At that time, you didn’t even let out the sound of a fart, but now you’re trying to snatch her first, this old one hasn’t even settled the score with you yet.”
How could he allow the Imperial Academy to snatch such a good seed as Yu Qing Qian. He knew what this old fellow was thinking, but he mustn’t let the other party succeed.
Elder Qi looked at Elder Gu sternly, “Don’t push your limits too far, Holy Academy.”
“Your Imperial Academy has always been so shameless, and now you continue to do so, this old one won’t condone it.” Elder Gu also and a stern expression, showing no face at all.
The people below were stunned when they saw that the two, who were originally harmonious, suddenly begin to yell at each other over the issue of Yu Qing Qian’s belonging, and there was even the feel of them preparing to fight.
What was happening here?
However, they couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous of Yu Qing Qian. They had heard that there were two Elders from the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy back then that even got into a fight to compete over Feng Chen—who expected that Yu Qing Qian also won this honour.
Leng Ling Shuang’s nails dug deeply into her palms, and she felt extremely aggrieved. All the limelight that should’ve been hers was snatched away by that wild girl Yu Qing Qian.
Leng Ling Shuang had been praised too highly in the Chi Clan and the Western Royal Academy over the years. In addition, she had indeed found many fortuitous opportunities based on what she had heard and seen in her previous life, so she had long had the firm idea that she was the proud daughter of Heaven.
Now that the limelight that should have belonged to her had been snatched away by the sudden appearance of Yu Qing Qian, she secretly felt resentful.
After she calmed down, she began to ponder deeply, wondering whether Yu Qing Qian was someone like her who had the same rebirth experience.
But judging from the information obtained, Yu Qing Qian seemed to have never shown any prophetic ability. Even when she took the Seven-Coloured Divine Tree last time, she could tell the other party hadn’t made preparations beforehand.
Did she guess wrong? But she constantly felt that something was wrong. If there was a person as devilishly talented as Yu Qing Qian in her previous life, she should’ve heard about it.
